Awake Liposuction in Milwaukee

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to help people get rid of stubborn fat deposits in various parts of the body. While traditional liposuction requires general anesthesia, awake liposuction is a newer technique that allows patients to remain awake and alert during the procedure. At MKE Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer awake liposuction as a safe and effective way to achieve your body contouring goals.

Awake liposuction, also known as tumescent liposuction, is a technique that involves injecting a large volume of a special solution into the target area before suctioning the fat. This solution contains lidocaine, which numbs the area, and epinephrine, which constricts blood vessels to minimize bleeding and bruising.

During the procedure, patients are given a mild sedative to help them relax, but they remain awake and alert. This allows them to communicate with the surgeon and provide feedback on the results in real-time. Awake liposuction is ideal for patients who are afraid of general anesthesia or have medical conditions that make them ineligible for it.

One of the major benefits of awake liposuction is that it minimizes the risks associated with general anesthesia. Patients are able to breathe on their own and maintain their natural airway, reducing the risk of respiratory complications. Additionally, since the patient is awake, the surgeon is able to communicate with them during the procedure, ensuring that the desired results are achieved.

Another benefit of awake liposuction is that it allows for a faster recovery time. Patients are able to return home the same day and can usually resume their normal activities within a few days. Since the procedure is less invasive, there is less swelling and bruising, resulting in less discomfort during the recovery period.

At MKE Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer awake liposuction for a variety of target areas, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin. Our board-certified plastic surgeons have extensive experience performing this procedure, and we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible results.
